Thanks for the note - it is 1.3 Beta on a windows 7 computer - i can recreate the issue by starting a new project, recording the first, crisp line and the subsequent lines sound muffled - for me it has to be something built into the settings but i can't find it...will continue to look and would appreciate any further help until i get the chance to rerecord!

1.3 beta doesn't give us enough information, we need to know the third number too.

If you go Help menu -> About it should tell you exactly what version you have.

Should be something like "Audacity ® 1.3.13-beta (Unicode)".

You should be using version 1.3.13

If that's not your version you can get it from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).

Hi - its this one - Audacity ® 1.3.13-beta (Unicode)

if you know of anyway to fix in this version that would be sweet

I have tried putting all of the data on one line and the first part is clean and the other bits are 'dirty / fuzzy' - is there an effect / something i can run over the whole thing to at least make it consistent if not clean?

Thanks!

Have you tried this yet?
1) Record the first track
2) Mute the first track
3) Record a second track.
If so, what happened?
